# judiljonesshow.com ## Posts - [THE JUDI L JONES COLLECTION](https://judiljonesshow.com/blogs/the-judi-l-jones-collection/):      Wearable affirmations or The Judi L Jones collection was born out of a need to say thank you and offer my sympathies and heart to others. Sometimes, after I wrote my feelings on paper, I still wanted to make them known; designing t-shirts was my way to do it.      The majority of the t shirt ideas are from God. He’d give me the saying, the statement, the affirmation and I would put it on a t-shirt. I believe that if you wear a thought, an affirmation, a belief, you become it.      A young girl, […] - [DATES:A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO EMPTY CARBOHYDRATES](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/eat-a-date/):      In the middle of the night, during the madness of a menstrual cycle or the chaotic games estrogen and progesterone play with each other with menopause, a sweet craving rises in you so badly that you either raid the refrigerator or take the chance of going to an all-night market to grab that expensive candy bar or pint of decadent chocolate ice cream. Expensive not only in price but in the empty calories they will add to your gut, thighs and butt. In preparation for what you know is coming, keep a box of dates in the pantry.

We all know the answer to that.      A balanced eating plan is one that is rich in lean protein (meat, eggs, cheese), vegetables (don’t fry them) and healthy fats (avocadoes, seeds, extra virgin olive oil, seafood) Please eat seafood in moderation as too much of it can lead to elevated uric acid levels in the body, which […] - [HOW DO YOU BAKE A HEALTHIER, CLEANER BROWNIE](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/how-do-you-bake-a-healthier-cleaner-brownie-2/):      How do you bake a healthier, cleaner brownie?

They are juicy, sweet with a bit of tang.      Did you know they are part of the rose family and are native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere.      One serving of strawberries is roughly eight medium-sized berries.

NOW WHAT?](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/hpv-while-incurable-can-be-treated/):        You just found out you’ve contracted HPV, HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS. Now what? The first thing you are NOT going to do is panic. Secondly, you will maintain a relationship with an urgent care center provider or your regular primary care provider for treatment and counselling. Thirdly, if possible, you will contact your partner or partners informing them of your condition.      WHAT IS HPV?  -It is a group of viruses that can cause warts and other health conditions.

Here are six of them. 1-STOP AND REST Literally stop and rest. If you do not stop and rest your body, your body will stop and rest you. The hurriedness and busyness of our days often lead to frustration, angst and stress. If you can stop and nap for 20-30 minutes out of your day, fabulous. […] - [HOLISTIC APPROACHES TO TREATING GERD SYMPTOMS](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/drink-water-befor-eating/):        Acid reflux aka heartburn occurs when stomach acid or bile flows back up into the esophagus, leaving one with a burning sensation in their throat or chest. If this happens regularly, it could be GERD, gastro esophageal reflux disease.      The first choice one may have when experiencing these symptoms is to run to the nearest drug store, to their medicine cabinet or to me, a healthcare provider, requesting antacids such as TUMS, ROLAIDS or MYLANTA. But I am asking you to consider FIRST holistic treatments for your symptoms BEFORE grabbing a pill: 1-drink a full […] - [WEIGHT LOSS WITH AN APPLE A DAY](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/weight-loss-with-an-apple-a-day/):        WEIGHT LOSS is possible by eating apples as they are considered complex carbohydrates. These help keep you fuller longer as they take longer for the body to digest. Other foods in this category include brown rice, brown pasta, wholegrains, and other fruits. In comparison to simple carbohydrates, like cookies, white bread, soda, sugary drinks, which we digest quicker. This quicker digestion leads to rummaging in the cabinets and refrigerator for something else to eat. Complex carbohydrates also boost our energy levels, aggravating movement off the couch. If you’re off the couch, hopefully you’re outside running, jogging, walking […] - [HONEY VS MOLASSES:DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/a-sugar-alternative/): NOT FOR TEA ONLY      As a child I remember loving the taste of honey in such things as a warm cup of tea. But molasses I enjoyed over a stack of pancakes. Sometimes I had a taste for something different on my pancakes than syrup. I remember molasses had a certain pungent taste to it, not overwhelming but heavier than regular syrup. For me, honey was also seen as something medicinal, only to be taken when I was sick. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized it had a lot more uses,  WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?    […] - [CONSIDER THE PISTACHIO](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/consider-the-pistachio/):    MISERY      I am, hoping, the menopause symptoms that have arrested me and made me absolutely miserable for the past ten years are on the way OUT! The prodromal symptoms, like that of an aura before a migraine or a seizure, are a sense of unease, uncomfortableness, anxiety and doom. Once I feel these, I wait for the ‘hot flash’ to occur. Suddenly, my whole body becomes engulfed in a case of heat, sweat, stickiness and ugggh! In my haste to turn on my fan, which rests beside me in my bed (some women have a man in […] - [TAKE A BEET](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/take-a-beet/):      Have you ever wanted to know a little something about a food, particularly a vegetable, you didn’t like? Well, maybe you haven’t, but I have. As a child, I bit into a beet, decided it was too odd-tasting and bitter for me and immediately put it into the category of ‘yuck.’ But as I entered the field of nurse practitioning, holistic and complimentary health, offering my patients alternatives to prescriptive medications, I decided to take another look or TAKE A BEET.      Consuming beets, also known as root vegetables along with onions, ginger, garlic, celery, carrots and […] - [A POWERFUL BREAKFAST IN MINUTES WITH THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/eat-well-quickly/):      Most of us are on the go with not much time to get there. A meal usually consists of something starchy, greasy, filling for the moment and gerd-provoking. However, if you are intentional and choose to slow down and eat a nutritious snack or meal that will keep you full and energized for the day, I may have an idea. My work days usually start at 430am as I toss in the bed, mulling over another snooze on the alarm and what to wear that day. Once I do get up, I like to be dressed and out […] - [SEARCHING FOR ME IN ALL THE WRONG MEN](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/you-can-choose-to-triumph/):      What would I tell this young lady today?      According to the NATIONAL COALITION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or abusive behavior as part of a systemic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. A mouthful. But for me, it was stressful, embarrassing, debilitating and ugly. Every person who has gone through the terror of domestic violence will offer you their definition of it. I remember a woman telling me, after I told a little of my experience with domestic violence, ‘you weren’t […] - [DO IT SCARED](http://judiljonesshow.com/blog/dont-fear-it-face-it/): judi in the pink      DO IT SCARED      This is me, at 63, learning how to swim. I decided last year at 62 I wanted to be not afraid of the water. I love the beach. But didn’t know how to swim. I suppose I could blame my parents for not throwing me in the water as a kid when fear was not even a thought, But that would be fruitless and dumb. When one of my work colleagues mentioned her children were taking swimming lessons, I decided to take the plunge (pun intended).      Learning […] ## Pages - [LOVE IN A BROWN BAG](http://judiljonesshow.com/blogs/love-in-a-brown-bag/):        Currently, the program is in one soup kitchen on Long Island NY. My goal is to secure local, regional and national sponsors to offer the program in schools, prisons, churches, veterans facilities and other soup kitchens.      The brown bag includes homemade sandwiches, a homemade sweet, a fruit and water.   My lunch maybe the only meal one gets that whole day. Therefore, I want the client to feel full once he has eaten from the brown bag. I want him to eat nutritious food that is good for his body to promote good health and energy.
